Frank de Jong, Pakwing Man & Eric Toering worked with professor David Kirsh and students from the cognitive science department to develop an interactive installation based upon the work of world famous dance choreographer Wayne McGregor.
The result is a self made installation that focusses on experience instead of functionality. By using exclusive video material as input, the installation tries to show visitors the complexity of the dance piece by using an accessible interaction. People can use their whole body to touch the Dancerail and play with light that runs through the tubes.
The installation was placed in the Sadlers Wells theater in London (United Kingdom) from 13 to 17 October '09 during the world premiere of Wayne McGregors new dance piece. About 8000 people were present during this prestigious event. The Dancerail was also presented at the Desform '09 Conference in Taipei (Taiwan), and on display during the Dutch Design Week 10, and in the Designhuis '10 (Netherlands).
